U300 Touchpad Driver for Windows 8 Does Not Load Properly

I have spent a few hours with both Microsoft Premier Technical Support and (a very grumpy) Lenovo technician. They have both confirmed that the Windows 8 touchpad driver that is currently posted on the Lenovo site for the U300S does not load properly. It will, as many have reported, disable the touchpad altogether. There seems to be an issue with the loader installing files for both a Synaptics and a Cypress touchpad. This creates an apparent conflict that relegates the touchpad as useless.
If you choose to install this driver, I would recommend that you create a store point so that it can be easily recovered.
A standard mouse works just fine (albeit without any Win8 functionality).
***Lenovo should pull this damaging driver down from their site until a certified replacement can be prepared.***

Hi, 
If the computer is OEM, please refer to the user guid manual to know how to boot into WinRE to recovery your system. 
Meanwhile please try to enable or disable Secure Boot by referring this article:

  • Apple software update for windows does not work properly

    Apple software update does not work properly

    I FIXED IT!! I can't believe it . I actually figured out how to make it work(well sort of). My Apple Software Updater now works (almost) perfectly and I just successfully downloaded and installed itunes 10.6.3.25 through it!!!
    Ok , the way I see it, either the latest itunes update or the recent Windows Patch Tuesday on June 12th, 2012 must have inadvertently removed the Administrative Rights from the Apple Software Update Tool .lnk file.
    So you must go to where the file resides on your hard drive - for me that was C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs - Right click on the Apple software Tool icon and choose properties. Click on the compatibility tab. At the bottom of this tab click on "change settings for all users" and hit Yes at the UAC pop-up. Now make sure you place a check in the "Run this program as Administrator" under the Privilege level section at the bottom. Hit Apply and then OK. The hit Ok again to get off the properties pop-up.
    When I went back and clicked on the Apple Software Update shortcut, I got a UAC pop-up asking me if I wanted to proceed(something I had always, in the past, gotten but haven't since this problem started). The Apple Software Update tool came up and to my suprise the progress bar STAYED and started to slowly fill up partially with the green progress bar. Viola, the itunes 10.6.3 update showed up on the top part of the screen as a new update needing to be installed - the bottom screen, as usual, had the changelog info for the 10.6.3 update. I clicked on install and , again, Viola. the update downloaded and installed flawlessly. I had to reboot my computer and when it restarted, itunes was working perfectly and it was correctly showing as itunes v10.6.3.25.
    I say it is almost or sort of fixed because when you click on the Apple Software Update shortcut after the 10.6.3 install it goes back to doing the same thing it did before(i.e. processing for a second and then saying there are new updates but showing a blank field). Maybe this is the way the software now looks if there are no updates available to install - maybe Apple is working on this to eventually get it back to normal. All I know is the process I outlined above worked for me(at least to get the ASU to recognize and properly download and install itunes 10.6.3). It's certainly not perfect, but it worked. Please try this method and let me know what results you have with it. Good luck.

  • New safari update (5.1.2) for windows does not load any webpage. i can open safari but nothing happens.

    why wont it load?

    Try this:
    Bring up the Windows Task Manager.
    Look for a process called: "WebKit2WebProcess.exe" and there may be a *32 after the name.
    Now Look for a "Safari" process, there may be multiple instances, but the primary instance will be identified by the significantly more memory that it uses.
    Kill both processes.
    The Kill order may be important.
    If the WebKit process is running alone kill that first, and try to relaunch Safari.
    If a Safari process(s) is running, Kill the primary instance, The WebKit process should also go away but if not Kill WebKit too.
    It may take more that one launch attempt to clear the memory.
    Further,, you will likely have to do this at each Safari launch because these processes become unstable after short use - until Apple fixes this bug.

    Ps: I have no issues what so ever on Lion, just Windows 7

  • Icloud add-in for outlook does not load

    I have the sync working for calendar and contacts between icloud and Outlook--  but when I close Outlook, the icloud Add-in for Outlook does not load--  the icloud label does not appear on the ribbon at top of Outlook.  I must go to File> Options> Add-ins> Manage Com Add-ins---  and manually check iCloud Addin to get it loaded.  It will not load at start-up automatically as it should.

    I struggled with this but found the answer.  You need to set the LoadBehaviour property in the Registry to 2 (Load at Start Up).
    Run RegEdit
    Navigate to here [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\Apple.DAV.addin]
    LoadBehaviour will probably be sitting at 0.  Double click that to open, change it to 2 and you're done.
    Open Outlook, the Add-in will probably still be inactive.  MAke it active, close Outlook, open it again and it should work...

  • Cannot send email. When I click Write the window does not open properly. Does not have the "send, spelling, attach security save" line.

    Cannot send email. When I click Write the window does not open properly. Does not have the "send, spelling, attach, security, save line there. Then when I click File, then Send now it will not send. A message comes up saying my SMTP server failed. Have check and everything appears to be o.k.

    Hi Stephen,
    What version of MS Office are you using?
    Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
    Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
    From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
    The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
    • Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
    • Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
    For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
    The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
    • Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com POP port: 995
    • Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes

  • Satellite U500 - ALPS touchpad driver for WIndows 7 64bit

    I have a U500-00X012 (Australian Model) which I have updated to Windows 7 64bit. The Toshiba Australia website says to use the Vista 64bit ALPS touchpad driver. I could not get any Vista driver to work with my U500.
    The correct driver is available from the Toshiba Europe website http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/tpdrv-20091112112139.zip
    The driver is v7.105.303.117
    Hope this saves somebody the many hours I have wasted trying to get the touchpad to work.

    Hi TwoLags,
    when I installed any of the three versions of 64 bit Vista drivers available on the Toshiba Australia Website, they all install fine without any errors. After rebooting the laptop Device Manager says the ALPS touchpad is installed and working correctly. The icon for the touchpad appears on the taskbar but the touchpad just does not work at all!!
    The driver link that I posted installs just the same as the other drivers, but it actually works.
    I have no idea why the Toshiba Australia website only links to drivers that don't work and the Toshiba Europe website links to later drivers that do work. I have asked Toshiba Australia Support this question.

  • T60 hard drive replacement - Windows does not recognize the hard drive

    Hello All, new to the Lenovo Community. I have a T60 as well as newer Lenovo Edge. The HD crashed on the T60 and it will no longer boot. I just purchased a WD 500GB without doing a lot of research. In trying to install Windows 7 (I had already upgraded the T60) it will not recognize the new drive - Windows does not see the drive at all. Is there a way to get the Lenovo to recognize the WD drive? Thank you in advance for any help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Glad I was able to help.
    Just be careful, the usual "if it doesn't fit, find a bigger hammer" doesn't apply to this model laptop.
    Also, there is a part available to adjust the frustration level, I don't happen to have the FRU number available, but I do have a photo and I'm sure you can find a local shop to provide it. Any experienced vendor should be able to match up a similar item from this photo.
    It comes in many varieties, this model has a handy extention to aid in installation so you can easily do it with one hand. Others may require two hands to safely install. Use care when installing, one slip can destroy your laptop. Acute abuse can lead to severe embarassing situations and cronic abuse can have impact on your health, so use wisely and always get a spare to share with a friend. They tend ot come conviently packaged in quantity of 6, so you can invite a few friends over.
    This invention has saved many a laptop from sailing out of windows worldwide.

  • Satellite Pro P100 - Touchpad driver for Windows 7 32bit

    Hi
    I'm looking for a touchpad driver for my P100 (PSPA4E) which works under Windows 7 32bit. After changing from Windows XP to Windows 7 the tochpad isn't working any longer.
    Thx in advance for your help!
    Regards

    Hello
    Generally speaking for touchpad no additional driver is necassary. The touchpad also works without touchpad driver because the Windows standard driver will be used.
    Touchpad driver is only important for special functions like virtual scrolling, change tapping settings, etc.
    You can download all driver on official Toshiba website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
    But you have to search in driver *Archive* because its old notebook model.
    Its no Windows 7 32bit driver available but I saw touchpad driver for Vista. It should work on Windows 7 too. :)
    Check this!!!

  • Thinkpad R500 Touchpad driver for Windows 10 (Mac like gesture)

     I have a Lenovo Thnkpad R500 with Windows 10 installed, but it seems there is no support the two finger scroll (Mac like gesture). Is there Touchpad driver for the R500 to support Windows 10 two finger scroll (Mac like gesture)? It looks to be a Synaptics UltraNav, I have tried installing the generic Synaptics Windows driver V 17.0.19 that claims to support Windows 8 but it fails to install on Windows 10. If I cannot get the two finger scroll to work on the Lenovo, I will stay with the Mac.

    Try this tool?

  • Safari 5 does not load properly.

    Im using a MacBook Pro (Late 08) w/ Snow Leopard and Safari 5.0.1
    Pages do not load for me at all.
    For instance id go to www.espn.com and the loading bar in the address bar goes and stops www.esp|n.com, just like that..and same goes with every other website out there. After about 10 to 15 minutes it finally loads the page but the page does not load like a normal page, its all on the left side looking like a cell phone site back in the day.
    I need anything that will help me out. That actually works.

    HI,
    Login to another user account. Try Safari there. If you can load pages in that account, then log back into your user account and try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If Safari loads web pages as it should, them move the .plist file to the Trash.

  • Satellte C870 (PSC8EE) - Display driver for Win8 does not install anything

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite C870 bought in october last year.
    I upgrade it from Windows 7 to Windows 8 a first time just before Christmas and worked fine.
    (Some small issues suchas Bios upgrade needed before installing the display driver but all worked well)
    Few days ago I had a system crash and the HDD died.
    Send out the Sateite for HDD replacement and got it back with Windows 7
    Started last evening installation back to window 8 64.
    But the display driver from Toshiba site does not install anything ? Not even catalyst....
    Just get the request to confirm if I want to install the product and then nothing...
    Tried both drivers proposed from 19/02 and 26/02 but with the same result....
    Tried to install the driver directly from AMD ad got a message my card was not supported
    Tried Windows 7 driver from Toshiba site for my machine and got the same message....
    Graphic card is an AMD 75610M
    And of course I have admin access, and also tried to launch the Setup files in admin mode.

    Even though I had to proceed with a manual installation.
    Sill consider a pitty the file from Toshiba is not working.

  • Latest Nvidia Driver for G560 does not install!

    Hi,
    i've tried to install the latest nvidia driver for my G560. But it seems like the only driver working on this system is the preinstalled driver from Lenovo.
    I always get the message that the driver can't find the required hardware. I've downloaded the correct (Win 7 64 Bit) and latest driver from Nvidias webpage. I've even tried some older drivers from the drivers archive.
    Does anybody have a clue how I can solve my problem?
    Greetings Cpk83

    It does look like the correct driver. But I noticed this "Note: The following notebooks are not supported in this release: 1. Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power with Intel chipsets. 2. Fujitsu notebooks – support will be added in a later release. Fujitsu Siemens (FSC) notebooks are supported in this release. 3. Sony VAIO notebooks – support will be added in a later release. Sony VAIO Windows 7 users can click here for driver update support. 4. Any notebook that is launched after the release date of this driver. " Does anyone know if this laptop has Hybrid Power? Also here is a good tip/recommended from ATI. "Advisory: The display driver supplied by the laptop manufacturer is customized for the built-in flat panel display, and the graphics features and functions specific to the laptop. It is strongly recommended to use the supplied drivers. If installing a different operating system other than the one included with the laptop, the laptop may not meet all the requirements, and supported drivers may not be available. The laptop manufacturer is the exclusive provider of driver updates. If the required driver update is not available at the laptop manufacturers’ website, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer directly, to see if an updated driver will be made available in the future."

  • I've been using FCP 7 on my iMac for quite some time with great success.  Lately I created a new project and the browser window does not format properly (it's O.K. for previously created projects). The effects window is also not displaying properly.

    Help! My browser window is suddenly not formatting properly. (losing browser formatting, glitch, bug)  I'm using FCP 7 on an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 and have been successfully doing so for a couple of years.  I fear my Final Cut Pro is corrupt and I have to re-install. Anyone ever see this problem? Old projects display and behave fine in the browser, but any new project I create, totally loses the formatting in the browser and the browser also does not display the "effects" window properly anymore. (see below)

    YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!  I reinstalled the program and everything. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! MY HERO!!!
